Archify

Archify is an agent skill that turns descriptions and code into interactive, self-contained architecture and workflow diagrams.

Archify is an open-source agent skill designed to help developers understand, plan, and share system architecture, workflows, sequences, data flows, and lifecycles. Users start with an idea, a question, or a repository description, and the AI agent turns it into a self-contained interactive HTML file. The output includes motion, node details, path exploration, and crisp export options like PNG share cards. It works with agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode, and can generate diagrams without requiring a repository. The generated diagrams are standalone HTML files that can be opened in any browser, customized through conversation, and shared easily with team members. It suits developers, engineers, and technical teams looking to map codebases, explain workflows, and visualize system relationships.
